Meaning & History
Visvaldis is a masculine Latvian given name derived from the elements viss “all” and valdīt “to rule”, making it a cognate of the Slavic name Vsevolod. The name’s etymology reflects the concept of universal sovereignty, as seen in its Slavic counterpart which combines Old Church Slavonic vĭśĭ “all” with volděti “to rule”.
